Meet Rex & Roxy’s newest daycare member, Mayer.

Reporters at The Weekly Scoop have uncovered that Mayer may in fact be related to the famous celebrity singer songwriter, John Mayer.

Don’t believe us? 

DNA hair samples taken from both John Mayer and Mayer reveal that Mayer has an exact match in hair fibers and the match is 99.99999% John Mayer.

The Weekly Scoop also discovered after investigating the National Registry of Dog Hybrids, several suspicious new categories of dogs, submitted in January 2011 by “breeder unknown”. 

These new categories of hybrids included;

The John-Mayerdoodle

The John-Mayerstroodle

The John-Mayerneese

The John-Mayeraussie

The John-Mayerdor.

Coincidence?

We at the Weekly Scoop think not. 

The photographic evidence is overwhelming to support that Mayer is either related to Mr. John Mayer or a direct decendant of the Billboard Artist of the Year.

Neither Mayers could be reached for comment to confirm or deny our findings.

Now that summer temps are gone and cooler temps are moving in, we are shortening our naptime hours to give more playtime for our pups. Keeping this in mind, we still strive to be the safest dog daycare, so we have scheduled naptime during the day.

Naptime will be from 12-2 daily at both RNR Big Dogs and RNR Petites. We utilize this time to give dogs needed rest, feedings and medicines are also administered during this time.

Please note it is very important that dogs do not exercise after eating or drinking and they should rest for a minimum of 2 hours after eating to avoid bloat.

Thanks. Let’s Play!

Tongus is a disease of the tongue in dogs.  It can spread from dog to dog very rapidly if not isolated.

Other common names to Tongus are:  Cat Got Your Tongue Disease, “glossolalia” or “Speaking in Tongues”, Tongue Tied or Forked Tongue.  If not diagnosed early, this could be a very debilitating disease for dogs because it prohibits them from barking and eating.  In the early stages of Tongus, a dog bark sounds more like an Elmer Fudd noise.

Stage 1: Tongus - Frowing

The dog’s mouth begins to frown and remains this way for a period of hours or days

Stage 2:  Tongus

During stage 2, the tongue begins to protrude. It is at this stage it is critical to get to your VET!

Stage 3 - Tongus

During this stage of tongus, the dog becomes dizzy and disoriented.

Stage 4 -Tongus - Final Stage

Stage 4 in tongus is situation grave. The tongue swells to the point where it covers the nose holes

Can Tongus Spread to humans??

Barkstory:  Get to know R&R’s Awesome Dogs.  The Weekly Scoop wants to allow its readers behind the scenes and really get to know our dogs.  That’s why, once a month, we will spotlight one of our dogs and let you in on their “barkstory”.  Each month we’ll give you a little insight about what makes them tick and why we think they are so special.  This month: Boo Martinez.

Boo Martinez, one of Rex and Roxy’s favorite “little big dogs”, proves once again that wonderful things come in small packages.  Not only does Boo donate blood once a month and volunteer as a crossing guard, but he also acts as Union Leader for the Decatur Dog Park Waste Management union.  Boo has been described by his peers as “helpful”, “likeable”, and “a great friend”.  “Boo is one of the good ones.  He’s sort of like a godfather to all of us.” said fellow R&R regular Scout Gartman. 

A good dog through and through….or so we thought. 

After some suspicious night-time noise complaints, we conducted a routine review of R&R’s lobby webcam. This review uncovered some startling footage of a tense and lengthy standoff between Boo and some of Decatur’s finest.  After a little digging, The Weekly Scoop uncovered serious skeletons in Boo’s closet. 

“Mr. Martinez, aka “Boo the Bite“, has been under surveillance for quite some time.” said Officer Canis, captain of DeKalb County’s racketeering division.  “That little guy is BIG trouble.” 

The Weekly Scoop was able to print some of the less graphic footage from the standoff.  Notice that Boo is never far from his gun yet remained calm, even ice cold, throughout the standoff.

Terrifying.  Unfortunately, the outcome of the standoff and any further information about why Boo “the Bite“ Martinez is still free to walk the streets is out of reach of The Weekly Scoop’s reporters.  Apparently Boo has some friends in very high places…

…connections and a little cash go pretty far in this town.  Our advice to our readers is to stay on Boo’s good side, slip him a treat every now and then, and don’t EVER call him short!

The Animal Control Blotter

August 19- A young lab was found sulking on the corner of New Street and College Avenue on Friday.  Apparently his dreams were dashed after falling from the Avondale Marta Station Bridge.  The young dog, claiming to have super powers, had apparently attempted to fly.

August 23-A female dog was caught Tuesday attempting to drive herself home from doggy daycare.  Though she denied consuming alhohol, the rottweiler had been seen exiting Rex and Roxy’s (a known party location) with an open container.  The dog was contained until her owner could be located.

August 28- Several dog treats were reported missing from a local pet store.  Though he was at the store during the time of the alleged robbery, this dog claimed to have seen nothing.

Barkstory:  Get to know R&R’s Awesome Dogs.  The Weekly Scoop wants to allow its readers behind the scenes and really get to know our dogs.  That’s why, once a month, we will spotlight one of our dogs and let you in on their “barkstory”.  Each month we’ll give you a little insight about what makes them tick and why we think they are so special.  This month:  Caleb Adams.

Caleb Adams, a regular fixture at Rex and Roxy’s, is an avid organic gardener, recumbent cyclist, and is President of the local chapter of the American Wildlife Bison Rescue. What you may not know about Caleb however, is his checkered past. Several years ago, Rex and Roxy’s was introduced to a wild, troubled young pup named Kaleb (with a K).

Kaleb (with a K), a notorious womanizer, had a reputation as a heavy drinker and even heavier party hound. There were even rumors that he spent a few nights in lockdown at The A.C. for biting the legs of several Alpacas and dealing meth along the tough streets of Decatur.
 

Back then Kaleb preferred to be known by his street name “Krazy K”, or “K-Pimp”. Only his closest friends could address him as “Special K”. In early 2008, Krazy K’s wild days (and even wilder nights) escalated to a terrifying crescendo. Nobody knows what truly happened that fateful night; however, The A.C. makes mention of alcohol involvement,  a brothel ring, and something about a female stray named Coco. Maybe it was the realization of his mortality, but Kaleb finally reached rock bottom and decided to change his life for good. 

  After his dramatic descent, Kaleb checked himself into a treatment center and began the long road toward sobriety and healing.  Treatment wasn’t easy for Kaleb; many long buried issues resurfaced during therapy… his anger towards his birth mother, the lack of any relationship with the many pups he fathered before getting neutered.  In the end Kaleb triumphed over his demons and came out of rehab a new dog. 

Long gone was the “Krazy K” of yesterday.  Like a phoenix from the ashes, a new dog had emerged and he needed a new name; a fresh start. After much soul searching, Kaleb settled on his new moniker …Caleb, with a C.  C for caring. C for cuddly. C for compassionate.

Today, Caleb is three years sober and is doing well.  Yet, everyday is a fight for sobriety.  Like Caleb’s tattoos now covered by his fur, his wild past is just below the surface.

Ask Roxy

Dear Roxy,        My owners recently brought home this GIGANTIC piece of foam, tossed it on the floor and said, “Stella, this is now your bed”… I stared at the foam, sniffed it a couple times and it just wasn’t for me so I jumped back on the sofa.  Before you know it, my world was turned upside down in 10 seconds when I heard “NO” and then I saw them both pointing to that piece of foam… Do they seriously expect me to sleep on that thing?  Why should I sleep on the floor when I am perfectly comfortable on the sectional sofa that has a better view of the Television?  

Foaming at the mouth mad in D.C., Stella 

Dear foaming Stella,
